For anyone wondering about if it's worth it, I'd argue that it is. If you've built any sort of attachment to any of the squad members over the course of the trilogy you'll want to pick it up as each and everyone of them make an appearance in it. It's genuinely funny at points as well. Well worth the $15 I paid for it

For $15 I'm curious about if its worth it. I really like Mass Effect and got about halfway through the trailer because if I picked it up in the future I'd rather not know the details.

My ideal dlc was Lair of The Shadow Broker and I wonder if its something akin to that, as opposed to something like Omega. If anyone had initial impressions I'd love to hear them!

It's absolutely worth it. I got about 8 hours of gameplay out of the DLC, and much of it was awesome. The mission itself is about 2 and a half hours, then you've got about 2-3 hours worth of character interactions and conversations taking place in the new Citadel hub area and Shepard's chill new apartment. Then there are about 2-3 hours worth of combat simulator missions (similar to MP, but different enough to be somewhat interesting). In addition there are a handful of minigames at the arcade and casino in the new hub area.

The tone is far lighter than the main game, but if you have any attachment to the characters, and I mean pretty much every main character from all three games, you are going to love this DLC.

Sounds like this dlc is pretty awesome. Would you guys recommend picking up omega also?

eh...

Omega isn't the best ME DLC. It's pretty basic ME3 levels with a fairly interesting (though underutilized) new character and Carrie Anne Moss completely phoning it in as Aria. It's also really unpolished and full of missing sound effects and animation glitches. Leviathan and Citadel blow it away in terms of quality.

@sackmanjones: It depends on what you're looking for. It runs about 3 hours with a 90-10 split between action and story. The story stuff is all Aria centric as well. I enjoyed it, mostly for the Turian female and the main antagonist was also pretty cool. I love everything ME and think the action in 3 is the best, so it was definitely worth the money to me, but might not be worth it to you if you're not as keyed in to the shooting/space magic.

This sounds really awesome, I heard it might be a prequel to ME3, before earth is attacked. That would make alot more sense, than just goofing around on the citadel while earth is under attack.

That's the one complaint I really have it with it. If you can get over the fact that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for all these character to be chilling and partying on the citadel with the fate of the galaxy in the balance. it's a really great way to send the trilogy and these characters off into the sunset.

I didn't have too many problems with the tone and core conceit mostly because I was playing this stand alone, but I can imagine it feeling pretty weird as part of a full playthrough to take a 5-8 hour detour to goof off on the Citadel in between Thessia and Sanctuary or whenever you choose to play it. The save I loaded was before the assault on Chronos Station, and in that context it makes no goddamn sense, but whatever, the DLC is still awesome.

I always thought the pacing was really messed up in ME3, you start off and earth is under attack leading you to go get help for Earth, this makes every side quest seem silly.

I would of had the Earth being invaded thing like the oh shit moment at the end like 80% of the way though, and from all the decisions you made doing the missions around the galaxy in the 3 games, came down to who would come help you.

Could someone tell me what point in the game this is best played at? I'm assuming my renegade character who got everyone killed is not appropriate, but I have a pretty paragon playthrough too, I think...
